Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 " Some persons think that unless a devotee undergoes great trials, he is not a saint. Others assert that a man of God-realisation should be free from all suffering. " the Master said during a lecture. " The life of each master follows a certain unseen pattern. St. Francis was afflicted with diseases; the fully emancipated Christ allowed himself to be crucified. Other great personages, such as St. Thomas Aquinas and Lahiri Mahasaya, passed their days without tremendous stress or tragedy. " Saints attain final salvation from backgrounds vastly different. True sages demonstrate that, regardless of excternal conditions, they are able to reflect the Divine Image with them. They play whatever role God wills, whether or not it conforms to public opinion.
